Spring in Bavaria

Niki Reiser: A brilliant composer

Swiss composer Niki Reiser studied flute, composing/arranging with the principal subject filmscoring at the Berklee College of Music, Boston, between 1980-1984. During his career he accomplished further studies in film scoring with Jerry Goldsmith, Herb Pomeroy, Michael Gibbs and Ennio Morricone and did advanced training in the field of classical music at the Basel conservatory.

His biggest success so far was the score for BEYOND SILENCE (1996, director: Caroline Link) for which he was awarded with the Bavarian Film Award as well as the German Film Award for best score. The same film was nominated for the Oscar 1998 in the category “Best Foreign Language Film”.

Beside his film scoring Niki is still an active Jazz flute player. Since 1985 he did several tours with bands like “People” (founding member), “Cocodrilo” (Europe, USA, Israel) and the successful Klezmer band “Kol Simcha”, for which he composed beside several album recordings numerous songs with symphony orchestra.

He also scored the epic feature NOWHERE IN AFRICA, which was awarded with 5 German Film Awards, including “Best Music”, and won the Academy Award for "Best Foreign Language Film" in 2003.
